India Plans Free AI-Based Online Coaching Platform for NEET and JEE Exams
The Indian government plans to launch a free, AI-enabled online coaching platform for NEET and JEE exams, aiming to support students from economically weaker backgrounds and regions with limited coaching access. The initiative, potentially rolling out on October 2, involves collaboration among three ministries to provide academic and technological resources. Aakash Educational Services' CEO welcomed the move, stating it would complement rather than replace private coaching and help level the playing field for serious aspirants.
